Naomi Klein spelled out in No Logo what The Kids have known for years: everything underground is eventually co-opted by the mainstream and monetised. Her fellow Canadians Fucked Up are working hard to buck the trend. From the name on in they remain true to the harder-faster-hoarser school of hardcore punk. Couple Tracks compiles 25 rarities from this prolific band, yielding more tunes than you'd think, and a surprising fondness for C86 era cutie pop. Not included is their recent indie star-studded charity Christmas single, worth seeking out not least because it highlights the plight of disappearing Native American women.
